and the russian twitter bots and the russian fake facebook groups and russian fake online personas designed to look american. and that were designed to make our discourse more toxic and extreme and polarizing than it already is. and frankly, they were designed to boost donald trump's chances in the election and to weaken hillary clinton. there's been -- you've been hearing this story. details of the story for the past year. because there's been a bunk ch really good journalism about the russian efforts in the past year. but that was just one prong of the three-prong attack. they attacked the russian system and targeted the public. against the other two prongs of that attack, they're breaking into the dnc, breaking into the voter rolls. who would have thought that the first part of this three-prong attack to actually result in real criminal charges against russians wouldn't be hacking into the democratic party. wouldn't be hacking into state voter rolls. it would be this third prong, the stuff they did to try to influence public opinion online. i at least would not have predicted if there we

did play a role on friday thirteen russian nationals and three russian companies were indicted for meddling in the presidential campaign quotes russia says there is no evidence to support that but the u.s. special counsel robert muller says an attempt was made to sway public opinion and to promote republican donald trump's campaign ahead of his democratic rival hillary clinton did it have an impact on the election result trump has tweeted it did not we'll find out what i guess think in a moment but first rose jordan with this report. the munich security conference often focuses on weapons of mass destruction regional war and the threat from rogue nations and groups but at this year's meeting the conflict is between russia and the us which is now and died thirteen russian citizens for allegedly interfering in the two thousand and sixteen presidential race the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov called the indictments irrelevant. so until we hear the facts everything else is just blather the indictment says otherwise the defendants allegedly were promoting donald trump's candidacy and unde

>> those were legitimate. >> those were russians. >> they were not russians.o with the russians. come on give me a break. >> i have nothing with the russians. >> apparently you did. >> no. >> even though the indictment says the russians organized the rally, ms. goldfarb says she never communicated with any russians and no one at any of her events were anything about americans for trump. the russians pretending to be trump organizers reached out to this man in florida, paying him to build a cage holding a an actress depicting clinton in prison uniform. miller tweeted this is the cage the russians paid for. by phone he says he learned about his unwitting involvement from the fbi. and now believes it was russians who called him on the phone, paid in between $500, to $1,000 to build the cage. >> they have the beautiful website, very supportive of the candidate. there was nothing -- nothing at all to lend to you think that it's anything other than people trying to support a candidate. >> the russians weren't just recruiting unwitting trump supporters. as cnn report

russians are responsible for those crimes. and now i think we want to know, did they work in partnership with any u.s. persons. also, the fact this occurred, these indictments are coming over a year after the election interference campaign shows how long it takes and the patience we must have to wait, to seek the evidence and wait for special counsel mueller to come back. also, i just ask the president, do you believe it now? because your department of justice has indicted russian individuals. and are we going to take this threat seriously? because i don't think they ever left our democracy. >> and this, when you see this, these indictments come out and you consider what we heard from the intelligence community before the senate intelligence committee earlier this week, i mean, fierce warnings coming from the head of our intel agencies about not only the meddling that russia had involved itself in in 2016, but looking towards this year, looking towards the midterm elections, looking towards the next presidential election, how

announces sanctions against russians against four individual russian officers and three russian companies providing material support to those cyberoperations. 35 russian diplomats whom the administration said were intelligence operatives were given 72 hours to leave the country. two russian compounds are closed. >> and so in early september when i saw president putin in china, i felt that the most effective way to ensure that that didn't happen was to talk to him directly. and tell him to cut it out and there were going to be serious consequences if he didn't. and in fact we did not see further tampering of the election. >> now let's take a look at president trump's actions related to russia. in april of last year he orders a cruise missile attack against the russian backed syrian regime. it is the first direct attack by the u.s. military in the country's lengthy civil war. under president trump congress has taken arguably the most aggressive actions against the kremlin. it was acting on the intelligence presented during the obama administration. in august of 2017, congress overwhelmingly

(hype russian music) - [gfoeller] russians view them as countrymen. they don't really believe in the dissolution of the soviet union. certainly... (laughs) ethnic balks in the baltic states don't see it that way. (ominous music) - [narrator] in 2008, war broke out between russia and georgia. that five day war foreshadowed russia's annexation of crimea in 2014. - [nikolayenko] putin decided to take action and stop georgia's close cooperation with nato and the european union. so they decided to advance and create turmoil in the former soviet republic. - the west was basically looking at its shoes as he conducted this invasion, and he mistakenly assumed that he could do the same thing in eastern ukraine. and there he was surprised by ukrainian resistance. - [narrator] in another proxy war, russian troops and syria are defending president bashar al-assad. (explosion) - we had over the decades thousands of jihadists from the broader middle east including syria fighting in chechnya against russia. so for russia, the outcome of the syrian civil war is as muc

she's been looking into the role of russian bots, russian trolls as well. specifically focused on what we've seen in the aftermath of the shooting in florida. this carries over from that as well. we heard tom winter just a moment ago describing the hash tags that were used. the groups that were invoked on twitter, on social media. help us understand how all of this works, jo. the way these bots are able to be as insidious as they have been. >> david, we've been covering the i.r.a. and its actions in the lead-up to the election for two years now. what we're seeing is very much the details of how exactly they carried this out. what you need to know, starting on page 14 of this indictment, some of the most interesting details of how they carried this out. they employed a day shift and a night shift. and instructed these 13 individuals and their associates to make posts in accordance with the appropriate u.s. time zone. so this wasn't just targeted by hash tag or region. we're also talking about time of day when people are on their phones scrolling through twit

for dossier filled with russian and russian government lies and propaganda. hillary clinton and the dnc shelled out over $12 million to fund this salacious and unverified dossier used as the bulk of information to get a fisa warrant to spy on the trump campaign. the same dossier the republican memos found that the fbi used to lie in that fisa court to get that warrant to spy on a member of the trump campaign. the fbi, fusion gps, nobody verified what was in the dossier, to this day we haven't proven a thing in the dossier. we know that the bulk of that fisa application was made up of a political hit piece document put together by a former plitish spy, christopher steel, using russian government sources and some of hillary's best friend as sources. now, also breaking, a lot of developments tonight as it relates to the case of bruce and nellie orr. this hugs band and wife duo, we reported after bruce orr high-ranking justice department official passed on the anti-trump field dossier, he gave it to the fbi. it was his wife, nellie, working for fusion gps on the

take a look. >> there has been no collusion between the trump campaign and russians or trump and russians. no collusion. but bottom line, they also there is no collusion. there is no collusion.e there was absolutely no collusion. everybody knows it.us >> let's put it this way. there is absolutely no collusion. that has been proven. there is absolutely no collusion. i didn't make a phone call to russia.. i have nothing to do with russia. everybody knows that. what has been shown is no collusion. no collusion. there is beenn absolutely -- there's been absolutely no collusion. >> sean: s the president also tweeted this weekend... then he added... think about it. the president is right. for over a year, russia has in fact been laughing at us. democrats, the media have been playing right into putin's hands by creating chaos and political discord, just what they wanted. frankly it's working better than russia could have dreamed of. that is what this russian effort was about, causing chaos, political unrest in this country. the "washington examiner"'s byron york will join us later tonight. he is

to conceal russian origins. when it was over, they took steps to erase their digital trail, one defendant writing in an e-mail to a family member, we had a slight crisis here at work. the fbi busted our activity. not a joke. so i got preoccupied with covering tracks together with the colleagues. further wrote, i created all these pictures and posts. the americans believed it was written by their people. now, the indictment today only concerns russian information operations. it does not even touch on the criminal theft of documents from the dnc or the clinton campaign or the question of potential collusion with the trump campaign which almost certainly means there are more shoes left to drop. the president of course, already declared victory today tweeting russia started their anti-u.s. campaign in 2014 long of i announced i would run for president. the results of the election were not impacted. the trump campaign did nothing wrong, no collusion. mueller makes no determination whether the russian efforts affected

chief robert mueller who's investigating that claim last week indicted thirteen russians and three russian organizations but did the campaign participate in the election meddling and should the u.s. really be lecturing russia on undermining foreign elections given how many governments the cia has undermined and even toppled this week's headline from critic former top spy and twenty eight year veteran of the cia and its clandestine service john cypher. john thanks for joining me on up front the latest indictments from the special counsel's investigation into the twenty sixteen presidential election in the u.s. accuses russian nationals and organizations of having allegedly meddled in the election are you of the view as many people seem to be in the u.s. these days that the trump campaign colluded with russia and was involved in that meddling were interesting my view is this this indictment sets a foundation upon which the legal community the justice department and the and the more investigation will then look for coconspirators. that were tied with this. you know the the russians when they

'cause just listen to how he trolled the u.s. - [speaking russian] - [speaking russian] [laughter] -rump is an open person. that's exactly what we're worried about. remember the last time he spoke to the russians? he accidentally spilled israeli state secrets. that's what he does. like, right now, the best we can hope for is that trump is so full of bs that he's too unreliable to be spied on, you know? because we know he'll say anything to make himself look cool. you know, putin will be like, so, donald, how many nuclear submarines do you have now? and trump will be like, let me tell you, vlad, we have literally millions of submarines. no, no, donald. no. no, donald, no. that can't be right number. i've heard we might have a submarine under this very dinner party right now. unbelievable. i'm starting to miss hillary, oh, my god, this-- [traditional russian music] for more on the russian effort to influence american discourse, we're joined now by our senior american correspondent, michael kosta, everybody. [cheers and applause] michael-- michael, as an american, are you worried that r

of 13 russians and three russian companies for interfering in the 2016 u.s.lection. one of the russians indicted last week by the justice department, russian billionaire yevgeny prigozhin, who owns the internet research agency, the russian troll farm that was involved in the russian election meddling, his nickname is reportedly putin's cook. he is also believed to control the russian mercenaries who attacked u.s. troops and their allies in syria this month. i asked masha to talk more about him. the russian state in the russian government is a mafia state comes so the easiest way to think about it is it is a klan with the patriarch in the middle who nominally owns what does not make a whole lot of difference because -- so they created this troll farm. someone -- it had to be a private company. someone has to nominally own it. there's very little doubt it is getting funding from the kremlin. so it is in fact the klan. we do know a fair not about how that company functioned. again, there is been great russian reporting on what they were doing. a lot of that repo

that's in american interest to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the united states or elsewhere in the world so i don't think there's any dispute on that in congress and i think maybe some of the posturing is frankly political as opposed to substantive. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decade's long debt. studying so hard it requires. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and parching to dance sometimes quite literally. want other true colors of universities in the us. i think. i am. i. in the stories that shaped the week just gone with twenty eight hundred winter games kicked off in south korea russia. just hours before the opening ceremony as their appeals against a doping related ban were rejected. airstrikes by the us led coalition hit syrian pro-government forces reportedly killing nearly one hundred people the pentagon claims it was carried out to defend an american backed group. and british m.p.'s jet out to washington to haul the biggest social media firms over th

and who's not a russian. you know i want to. i. was . like. the problem is the fault of the. outdoors is that you of course. let's delve a little bit deeper into the issue no with mike riley coeditor of b s news mike you're always welcome to the program could have you there has been no official statement from twitter but from this from perhaps what you've seen in the past do you believe there is something going on here are they adopting a blanket ban on specific content. no i really doubt it the reason being is because the twitter has maybe three hundred three hundred thirty million active users and only three and a half thousand members of staff so it's really unlikely that those members of staff are going to go through possibly one hundred thousand twitter accounts and determine whether they are right wing or conservative accounts or whether they're bots or not so this is all being done by an algorithm and all of us see these things aren't perfect but it's reasonably straightforward certainly for human bein

that's in american interest to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the united states or elsewhere in the world so i don't think there's any dispute on that in congress and i think maybe some of the posturing is frankly political as opposed to substantive. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one quite different person i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. in america a college degree

and who's not a russian by. you know i don't want to you know. i don't know this and he goes. yeah like. the problem is. that you're a christian man chair a lawyer and political activist believes that the move goes against a free speech form like twitter facebook or instagram these are forms where people have the ability of expressing their freedom of speech and their opinions i think that that's the point of these social media sites so if they begin to censor people just because they're coming under pressure then you know what's going to come next i think that this country has been characterized as always for the protection of freedom of speech regardless of what you think and as long as the message that you're portraying is not racially offensive or sexually offensive and you know other ways possible then you can not censor the opinion of a person simply because they go against you or simply because you disagree with them staying with them meddling accusations in new york times article has listed the many case

society and russian of ministration work in general i don't because the specificity of current russian system unlike the soviet system where everything was really centralized and very much well organized. now we have the opposite situation yes the state. obviously uses some how to call it nontraditional means sometimes to compensate for all those weaknesses of russian russian system because it's no secret that. in many components of influence power economy capacity russia is much weaker than the united states but it can be compensated by by some. what i'm asking you about is the propensity of the of russia to produce these ad hoc actions what you're saying is that yes the russian state sometimes outsourcing is that but i think also what many foreigners don't understand is this call which the russian system allows for personal and sometimes even eleven and malevolent initiative yeah absolutely that's what i wanted to say and sometimes it is the case that. the state is using it but in many other cases this is a strange mixture of private initiative commercial initiative sometimes there a

welcome to worlds apart for decades russians have both laughed and despair that the inadequacies of their system while also struggling to accept the same kind of criticism from foreign theirs and when russia decided to hold a mirror to their west own imperfections including by setting up this child it turned out western tolerance to criticism is even more why is it so difficult to communicate pointing out what's wrong with one another well to discuss that i'm now joined by tony cabin a former diplomat and the author of a book called return to moscow well mr cavanaugh it's great to have you in the studio thank you very much for your time and happiness charlie a day thank you very much. now when you say australia in the russian context it conjures up an image of a beautiful faraway land with a bright sun blue sky beautiful beaches with friendly people who spent most of that time surfing and i know it's a typical but i think it's a nice mental picture to get you through the long russian winter but i suspect when you say russia and there's trial and contacts. the associations are probably not

as for russia, russian foreign minister sergey lavrov, dismissed. >> russian foreign minister sergeylavrov saying, quote, you can publish anything, until you see the facts, everything else is blabber. >> yes, sergey lavrov also said and also pointed to some comments he sad had been made by vice president mike pence that no foreign powers had had any influence on the actual election results while not acknowledging that russia had not done anything that if an action doesn't have any consequence, then there's no foul. now, the russian foreign minister made the comments at the munich security conferences, biggest conferences in the world of foreign policy. he wasn't the only russian diplomat there. we also saw sergey kislyak, that name should be familiar. he was russian's ambassador to the united states an his name came up on daily basis early on in the discussions of the allegations of collusion between russia and the then trump campaign, he was the ambassador then and he said about the indictment that he doesn't trust the accuracy or the truthfulness of any report that comes out of ame

the russian three organizations and russian citizens, that doesn't eliminate that the russian government was involved. there were millions of dollars spent and putin runs russia in a way that would suggest to me that there is no doubt that there is russian government operations involved in this and it is a covert operation of the russian government. >> only a commercial break could force me to interpret my legal team tonight. thank you all for joining us on this important night of coverage. really appreciate it. >> thanks. >>> the russians were trying to stop hillary clinton. first by trying to help bernie sanders in the primaries then helping donald trump in the election. bernie sanders and donald trump both issued statements about the indictments of the 13 russians who were trying to help them, and only one of those statements was presidential, and it wasn't the one from the president. that's next. big news from advil... advil liqui-gels minis. our first concentrated pill that rushes powerful relief. a small size... that's fast, 'cause it's liquid. you'll ask... "what pain?" advil liqu

in this case, russian officials and russian organizations. so, the notion that you would read this thing and claim vindication strikes me as silly, crazy. >> let me ask you a follow-up question on that. we know from reporting that donald trump doesn't get briefed in person about russia, that it's all delivered in writing because it agitates him. makes him angry. we know from subsequent reporting that he doesn't read his pdb. do you think there was -- and this is a serious question. for a president that is not -- if you accept those accounts and the white house did not comment on either of those articles, do you think it was a shock to him to learn today that 13 russian nationals were deep inside our democracy, acting as american actors, smearing hillary clinton, sending people to her rallies, sowing discord. do you think this was a shock to him, someone had to walk in and take him through all of the different times that the u.s. intelligence community and u.s. law enforcement has tried to state just this? >> gosh, nicolle. if this was a shock

put in is very russian. there's a thing inferiority complex about how the west doesn't take a seriously daisy s. as the kind of retarded little brother that they can just kick and insult all the time they had been a great power. that was on par with the us those calling the shots all over the world and now people don't even listen to them. not only was the west not listening to russia it was also moving closer and closer to russia with its bases in summer two thousand and twelve the syrian president bashar al assad an old ally of russia faced an uprising his opponents received weapons from europe and the us. there was no doubt in putin's mind that the west had ordered a regime change as it had done in two thousand and three in iraq and in libya where the deposed president won or gadhafi had just been killed. when vladimir putin got a hold of the video of khadafi being killed lynched in the streets. he watched that video on repeat he just watched over and over and over again. and apparently he did the same th

the russian piece of this where he is now much more open to saying russians did something, well, the former ambassador to the united states from russia kislyak which has been a part of this long narrative of the russia investigation because some of his contacts with members of the trump orbit including jeff sessions, here's how he responded denying what's alleged in the new indictment. >> whatever allegations of the amount that they -- are simply fantasies that are being used for political reasons inside the united states. >> reporter: claiming this is all about domestic politics when the 36-page indictment goes into great detail on alleged crimes by 13 russians and three russian companies and a coordinated effort to use social media and in person sort of incentives for americans who didn't know they were being influenced by russians to show up at rallies and protest and spread messages that had been engineered by russian operatives in order to influence how people felt about the candidates, the election and larger political environment. this story always seems to have new twists and

russian mark and how does that make russians relive the 1990's? thank you. [applause] >> what i would like to do, since we are short on time. i would like to take a question from sergei and jeremy, turn to the panel, and then breathe a sigh of relief. we will continue to discussions in a more relaxed setting. sergei: thank you for a great panel. the 1990's were extremely important. on one hand, it is a soft landing of a superpower without violence. on the other hand, issues we have today in u.s. russia relations have their roots in the 1990's. the question that i have is a regard to the commonwealth of independent states. crimea speech said when the commonwealth was great, that was a joined a sovereignty. that was my understanding of the russian view in general. the russians had a different look at that. the u.s. role in that was incredibly important. there was the seriousness of independence versus the commonwealth is a form of russian control over the area and limited sovereignty. my question is mostly to strobe talbot. in the clinton administra

steve, you know all about russian espionage. are you surprised just how far russians went here? they focused on purple states, social media accounts, bought political ads. talk about the organizing -- they talked about organizing protests. so talk to me about that. this is pretty severe. >> yeah, the russian intelligence services, i mean this is something they do and they've done for a long time. for example, if you take a look at -- if you work your way through the indictment and you see all of the different ways that they attain different personalities and manage to pull themselves off as americans this is something that russian support officers, a long tradition in the russian intelligence services, how you cover your tracks and make yourself look like you're a member of the target society, in this case americans. actually sending a group of russians here to the united states is pretty aggressive. i was having a conversation with a friend of mine who's a political consultant who was saying how in the world would a russian know what a purple state is? well, now we know. they s

russians were behind it all.ent designed to pit americans against one another. >> do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. >> now capitol hill wants answers. >> the political ad was paid for by rubles. isn't that a red flag? >> how could that happen? >> almost all of the propaganda found so far traces back to the internet research agency. investigators say it was financed by a company owned by this man, russian oligarch evgeny prekochian is a wealthy businessman and part of putin's inner circle. >> they hired people that had a quota working in 12-hour shifts leading up to the election. >> there was an entire english language department specifically assigned to insert messages social media posts in the united states. they were required to watch "house of cards" to better understand american politics. >> in two weeks time, you will be heading to the ballot box to decide what kind of country you want to live in. >> the idea was to masquerade themselves as americans. >> they

full of the russians and syrians up five russians killed this is what the russian foreign labor contractors they are conspirators going to see if the united states doesn't use a cave to me blackwater and the contractors so that western media try to make out to it a huge revelation like something that portion of wants to highlight if. it's pocket army or something like this. things like that alex you know one of the things is that you know one we keep tabs on in this program is what's going on in ukraine and unfortunately i think we're going to be talking a lot about ukraine a year. you know looking at syria looking at ukraine it in its totality it looks like american policy is just pure spite you know it's they their regime change. and ukraine getting work out the way they want it because they lost crimea they have a frozen conflict against warm every once in a while and even hot and then we have syria where they lost again it's ok and yemen ok i mean. me i would call that mature foreign policy because i think that it is in america's best interests it's its foreign policy but i think you kn

against russian stability but let me come back. put in a lover of what what makes them special i remember even when i was forty seven years ago and certainly in my subsequent twenty five years as a diplomat the smartest people in russian embassies were almost the kind of people now it's no accident that a young ambitious intelligent man like putin growing up in leningrad in fairly tough circumstances looking at his career opportunities just will join the k.g.b. there's nothing sinister about this it was the most k.g.b. officers that people see if that's what. it was where ambitious people would would gravitate and so it's a mark of it's an ability that he was promoted quickly in the k.g.b. and finished up in east germany at the time of it which i just left it off for a friend of mine was a fellow diplomat of lover of the united nations. thirty five forty years ago they worked together in a committee he said was super bright and you know super organized just the professional diplomat you can see that no leverage gives a media confer

the democratic choice was the russians. the support for the democratic choice in the yeltsin administration was very high. it was a very idealistic time. we all believed democracy and russia was possible. we all believed a mixed or market economy was possible. we had big ideas at that time. so now, looking back, i am thinking some of the alternatives that were posed are a little bit of a strawman alternative. when we discuss economic aid to russia we immediately say there was no possibility of a marshall plan. what you notice, what they were asking for was not a marshall plan, there could be other forms of support for the west, i will go go into a -- i will not into detail, but for example forgive miss of debt. as was done for mexico. more favorable restructuring of debt. sectors. in specific usa could pay pension salaries for teachers, and doctors, there were these proposals there. when we hear that the russian grievance there was not enough aid, the response is, we could not deliver a marshall plan. i think that is a wron

hillary rodham clinton paid for russian and russian government lies to lie to the american people toead us to the election. it wasn't verified. it was used to get a fisa warrant because they never told the judge the truth. we have the barack obama administration, putin operatives involved in money laundering, extortion, kickbacks, and bribery. they got 20% of america's uranium. nobody in the media is telling their viewers about these important things. why? >> because it doesn't fit their narrative. they are going to go kicking and screaming like toddlers and a tantrum as long as they can to e reporting nightly, sean. the reaction and response that you have shown in the wake of this underwhelming indictment on friday show that though much of the opposition media is part of their own 4h club. you mention hysteria that's also hyperbole, hyperventilation, and also hypocrisy. when they are plain and obvious, neon splashing signs and evidence of foreign meddling and corruption, not just a uranium one deal, but so many others over the stretch of both republican and democrat administrations.

because this is like a russian spy novel run amok. i mean, when you look at the silicon valley companies that are named in this from facebook, in particular, to twitter, to instagram, that the russians were essentially using american business institutions to divide people along gender and race and orientation. the question at some point for congress has to become, what are we doing to better protect ourselves in 2018 and 2020? >> and a minimum of four years doing that as well. kevin, on this, senate judiciary chairman chuck grassley who often tweets at the president tweeted this last night, the next president trump that you talk to putin, tell him to butt out of our elections and quit the cyber warfare interference in our democracy. with this outrage out of washington, do you see action on the russian sanctions or anything to force president trump's hand in some other way? >> look, what happened on friday was that indictment, dara, is the most aggressive push that the united states has taken since by sanctioning 13 russian individuals

and three russian entities. this has to do with the last election and all the investigations that have been going on. they said criminal law has been allowed to interfere with u.s. elections and political processes. stay tuned for that. another fox news alert, a stunning new statement from the fbi admitting syria's failures in the run-up to yesterday's devastating florida high school shooting. welcome to "outnumbered overtime," i melissa francis in for harris faulkner. the fbi now saying they were warned that the suspected gunman was a threat and potentially wanted to attack his old school. about the information was not acted upon. steve harrigan is live in parkland florida. steve? >> this is an absolutely stunning revelation by the fbi, they are saying, admitting that they received a call to the fbi's tip line on january 5th from someone who was close to nikolas cruz. that caller said "this man has guns." this man has erratic behavior, this man is posting disturbing items on social media, this man is talking ab

full of russian and russian government lies. we have so much more on monday. we hope you join us. we will be fair and balanced. have a great weekend. laura ingraham is up next. a ing. >> good evening from washington. thank you for watching the ingraham angle. we have a huge day of news. you're not going to want to miss a minute. this special prosecutor announces a new round of inindictments. and it might not be who you think. and the governor of florida is calling for an fbi director to resign. and the media blow a gasket after my criticism of nba star king james. is that what he calls -- lebron james. i'm going to respond. but first, special prosecutor bob mueller files more inindictments in the white house investigation and the white house is cheering tonight. that's the focus of the angle. we finally have indictments in the mueller investigation related to meddling in the 2016 election. and the only ones being charged are russians. a federal grand jury has now indicted 13 russian individuals and companies for interfering with the election. but they're not accused of rigging the

or with russian, to try to end the russian sanctions exactly what chip is accusing trump of wantingobserved. i think the american people are quite frankly getting tired of it. it's more than a year, they haven't been able to come up with any solid piece of evidence. there are still five open investigations, you've got senate intel, senate judiciary, house judiciary, house intel, the inspector general, and i really think the biggest event, if you will, in terms of releasing of documents and the perspective will be that inspector general report which i think would happen in the next 60 days. >> i have to ask you about the whole issues were guarding florida and there is an fbi issue, they did drop the ball, they did admit that they dropped the ball, and there are questions now as to whether all of their energy spent investigating russia detracted from their focus, what you think? >> you think first of all we should blame the shooter as the number one issue. it is disgusting and disappointing that the fbi didn't follow through not on one but two tips, but i also have questions for local

steve, you know all about russian espionage. are you surprised just how far russians went here? they focused on purple states, they created grassroots political groups, social media accounts, they bought political ads. talk about the organizing -- they talked about organizing protests. so talk to me about that. this is pretty severe. >> yeah, the russian intelligence services, i mean this is something they do and they've done for a long time. for example, if you take a look at -- if you work your way through the indictment and you see all of the different ways that they attain different personalities and manage to pull themselves off as americans this is something that russian illegal support officers, it's a long tradition in the russian intelligence services, how you cover your tracks, how you make yourself look like you're a member of the target society, in this case americans. actually sending a group of russians here to the united states is pretty aggressive. i was having a conversation with a friend of mine who's a political consultant who was saying how in the world would

russian. at which point i said thank you so much. no more. and left the party. so it is -- with all due respect i understand the suffering of the latvia and estonia as a result of the soviet occupation. and so many hundreds of thousands of latvians, estonians, they perished in siberia. however, it's not an easy thing to be a russian speaker in estonia, latvia nowadays. you probably know this better than do i. that's my explanation to the fact that those who -- that russian population, russian speakers in this countries, they do vote united russia, or they love putin. however, when there was a research conducted with respect to whether those russian speakers would love to leave the european union and go back to russia, the absolute majority said no. and especially after the ruble collapsed in -- at the end of 2014, it turned out that medical insurance in the european union turned out to be much better than the one they could get in russia. and that was one of the reason -- therefore, i think we

or any russians did russian nationals or people who speak russian or people in the russian government but there was no evidence that any of this affected the election whatsoever isn't that fascinating and if it didn't affect the election what's the point of this. is supposedly ink with russia also landed in the dutch foreign minister in trouble he's resigned after admitting he lined up on it a meeting with president putin in two thousand and six. well into fall over. i missed the boat on the side of. it's good. for. an emotional resignation. as departure comes just a day before he was supposed to meet his russian counterpart in moscow let's listen for a moment to the remarks that finished his career. in early two thousand and six i was advised to me putin's country side house i stopped at the back of a room or a meeting was being held but i could hear very well vladimir putin talking about a greater russia he said this included russia. ukraine and the baltic states and that kazakstan would also be nice to have. so now i thought that it was a lie and that he wasn't even in russia in tw

russian relations. i think frank stag point d out in his presentation now roosevelt was able to employ these two. but what i am trying to understand, certainly clinton administration had empathy for russia. and the clinton administration had really the best exports there who were willing and wanted to help russia. so how does that not work out? i think to learn any lessons for the next opening, we have to understand how is that most well meaning and prepare the administration does not fulfill the goals for the russians and how does that make the russians feel about the 1990s. thank you. [ applause ] >> so what i'd like to do, since we are very short on time, is i'd like to go ahead and take a question from jeremy and take both those questions, turn to the panel, then we'll breathe a sigh of relief and continue the discussion also in more relaxed setting. survey. >> thank you for the great panel. 1990s was extremely important. on the one hand soft landing super power without major violence. on the other
